Because the average human is really bad at integrating drastic changes to the status quo

What I’m really driving at, is how can we have a shared culture that is safe for Marxists, anarchists, and people who would define themselves as Liberal? That was uncomfortable to type, but in order to affect material change we have to learn to speak each other’s languages and treat each other with empathy, while remaining open minded and learning from each other. It doesn’t advance any cause to dunk on each other for Internet points.

The tricky part is where is the line drawn? Some ‘anarchists’ are just accelerationists. Some MLs are just Soviet flavored conservatives. Some Liberals value the system itself more than marginalized people.

I propose that the shared value we all have is empathy. Regardless of how you felt about voting for Kamala - or whether you feel the system must be improved or destroyed - if you want to see the lives of marginalized people (and by extension, all of us) improve, we should be able to find common ground.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not talking about the recent thing we’re all doing our best not to panic spiral about. I’m talking about common ground in shared spaces and future politics.

Some things are not eligible for compromise. Human rights are non negotiable. We can debate about voting systems and trade policy but the only other is those who aren’t willing to treat the least privileged members of society the way they want to be treated.

That’s a good way to look at it. You don’t herd cats, you show them something they want and they’ll herd themselves independently :)

You absolutely do not have to hand it to Greenwald, but he really did rise to the stopped-clock moment here…

It’s the same picture

I’m willing to bet a significant amount of American dollars that if she would have endorsed Harris, Harris would have accepted it.

Yep. That excuse does not fly.

The all-skin lemon

It’s about anal fisting, yes, but only as a metaphor for the desensitization caused by modern life. It’s got layers

What kind of armor plated ball is that, the claws aren’t doing anything

They made her dress normal for the picture?

I don’t think many R voters in NC have any contact with news outside of the fox breitbart oann whatever conservative talking head is popular now.

On the other hand I agree that if they heard about it it wouldn’t have changed their vote, though.

I like your spirit but the Democratic brand and party are entirely dead. Someone will have to start a new progressive party (which will be coopted by capitalism as soon as it shows promise)

He isn’t in great health and apparently misses a lot of legislative sessions. This might not be a long term problem
